Weddings at Zion

An upcoming wedding is an exciting time and we want to do all we can to ensure your day is one of joy and celebration for you and for the people who will share this special day with you. Zion’s main sanctuary is available for member weddings, while our historic Marysville church is available for members and non-members alike. All Marysville weddings require a Zion representative to be present, either a Zion pastor officiating or our wedding coordinator, or both.

Once you have reserved a date on the church calendar, you will be assigned a wedding coordinator who will be available to answer all your questions and help you throughout the whole planning process. They will also direct your rehearsal and be there to assist you on the day of your wedding. The wedding coordinator is a sub-contractor who represents the church but works for the bride and groom.

Pre-marriage workshops are offered regularly, either at Zion or in the metro area, and are highly recommended. Couples who complete the pre-marriage workshop are eligible for a substantial discount on their Minnesota marriage license.

Because of the large number of weddings being scheduled at Zion the pastors are not able to do individual pre-marriage counseling with couples. Pastors do personally plan ceremony content with the couple.
